1700 deaths with 104,000 cases? We will see, but I don't think that's very accurate. Age of the people getting it and underlying conditions are the most relevant factors, and Italy has one of the highest median ages on the planet. Devil's advocate, so does Japan on the median age, but they are handling things pretty well by comparison.

I steer away from your GOTO sources of Mika and Joe, Rachel Maddow and The View as possibly being biased. But, I imagine you feel all are entitled to be "reporters" and have a seat at press conferences.

Here, right here, public health officials. People who know more than you or I and especially more than the president, who doesn't know his ass from his elbows.

Whine all you like about the bias of the newspaper or news site or TV station that publishes them, but they're still recording the words of people who understand the problem and these experts show us how little the president does.

HAHAHA.LMAO. I opened the link and saw a scowling face of Trump and it was by the left wing blog site called Salon. Know what I did, uptower?

I closed it out in a second. Know why? I can't allow myself to view such hatred, anger and evil from the likes of Salon, WaPo, The NY Times, MSNBS, CNN, etc. You feel free though
